The world’s attention is rightly focused on the terrible war in Ukraine, which is bravely fighting for its survival against the Russian aggressor. Another battle is taking place in neighboring Belarus. After the falsified presidential elections of August 2020, won by Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, the opposition to the brutal dictator has moved to Lithuania, or has been arrested.

The situation in Belarus shows what will happen if Ukraine loses the war and a vassal of Russia comes to power in that country too.

May 21 is the day on which the currently more than 1,200 political prisoners are commemorated.

Freedom for Belarus! As soon as that is the case, and flights are allowed from Europe to the country again, we will gladly start traveling again.
